Sep 20, 2010

FORT WORTH, Tex. – The Santa Clara
University men's golf team is currently competing at the
UTA/Waterchase Invitational, hosted by the University of Texas at
Arlington.

The annual tournament runs from Monday through Tuesday, Sept. 20
and 21 at the Waterchase Golf Club in Fort Worth. The 18-team field
consists largely of teams from the South, 12 playing in their home
state of Texas. Rice won the tournament a year ago.

The score put the Broncos in second place prior to round two
beginning in the afternoon. For complete tournament results CLICK HERE.

"We got off to a good start today," said Santa Clara head coach
Rob Miller. "Things are a bit different here in round two this
afternoon, the wind has picked up and the greens are quite a bit
bumpier. We will be a few strokes higher but still hope to be in
position for a top three finish as team, which was our goal."

The par-72 championship course plays to a yardage of 7,304
yards. The teams are playing 36 holes on Monday followed by 18
holes Tuesday. Tee times start at 8 a.m. each day.
